Profile:
Athula Samarasekera was an imposing figure; a strapping physique
leant him the ability to play some commanding innings. With the
bat in hand he was capable of powerful strikes and was a more
than handy medium pace bowler. Samarasekera made an inauspicious
start to his career, scoring a duck on his one day international
debut. On his Test debut he matched the performance being
dismissed in the first innings for a duck. In the second innings
he however played a characteristically breezy innings making 57,
punctuated by a number of boundaries. He completed a promising
all round match capturing two wickets and taking two catches. Too
often though Samarasekera was dismissed when he seemed set to
dominate the bowling, a substantial score beckoning. When he did
score it was well worth watching as he provided maximum
entertainment with his aggressive style. Never able to fully
establish a permanent position in the team, Samarasekera chose to
end his international career by deciding to take up professional
cricket in Bangladesh.
